I am the cook, but I am Li Er's son-in-law

Li Tai pondered for a while, then waved his hand: "Let him wait in the living room, if you can't wait, don't keep him."

The servant should come down.

The Li family ate three cups of tea in the living room and went back to the hut six times before Li Tai slowly walked out of the study and met him in the living room.

"Li Langzhong visited the king, why?" Li Tai sat down, asked the servant to remove the old tea bowl, and brought tea again, looking at Li's family with a trace of surprise.

Although I didn't count the specific time, but I was delayed for at least half an hour if I didn't say anything just now. To be able to wait for such a long time, what I asked for must not be a trivial matter.

The Li family frowned, waited for the servant to bring the tea, and then looked at the servant cautiously.

Li Tai raised his eyebrows, waved his hand, and told the servant to step back.

When there were no outsiders in the living room, the Li family members spoke cautiously and asked in a low voice, "How does Your Highness treat His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Li Tai's face turned cold, and he scolded, "You can ask this?"

The Li family was terrified, bowing and apologizing: "Your Highness, I didn't mean to sow discord, but... what happened in the court today made me... have some other thoughts."

What happened in the court?
Li Tai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Chengqian couldn't understand Li Shimin's meaning, Li Tai was not that small, although he didn't understand it in court, but after returning home, he figured it out.

I was a little disappointed, but not too disappointed.

He is not very old now, and his desire for the throne has not reached the level of Li Chengqian, which can almost be said to be pathological.

Secondly, studying behind Yin Xuan, he now feels that studying will make him more loved by his father - no matter how precocious Li Tai is, he is still just a child after all, and the sense of approval he gets from his father is more important than anything else.

But... Looking at the words of the official doctor, it seems that it didn't mean what he figured out?
"What do you think?" Li Tai asked after taking a sip of his tea.

The Li family gritted their teeth, and replied cruelly: "Although His Highness the Crown Prince is the eldest son, he is small and inferior. No matter in terms of character or talent, he is inferior to Your Highness King Wei."

"I think His Highness should be the crown prince."

He was straight to the point and said these words.

It's not dangerous at all.

Unless Li Tai really has no intention of becoming emperor at all, otherwise, even if Li Tai won't accept it, he won't tell the third person.

Li Tai reported to the outside world that he, a doctor, might lose his head.

But Li Tai had no hope of becoming emperor at all—he went to report, and he could only use the reason that "the child has no intention of spying on the throne, and the elder brother is the best candidate for the crown prince".

If Li Tai didn't deny that he wanted to be emperor, then what's the use of reporting him?It will only make me lose a few boosts in vain.

Li Tai was silent for a while, then knocked on the table: "I remember that the doctor is from the Li family in Longxi?"

The Li family nodded.

"Mr. Zhengyang doesn't like you people." Li Tai flicked his sleeves, narrowed his eyes, and his voice became slightly harsher, "Father doesn't like you people either."

Speaking of this topic, the Li family sighed a little: "The minister knows about it."

"I also know that, like our family, if you are too big to fail, you are a thief, but there are some things that I can't decide for one or two families."

Li Tai was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that such words would come out of the mouth of a family member.

The Li family went on to say: "After being educated by Lord Zhengyang and seeing the new affairs of the Kong family in Chang'an, I have come to my senses."

"It's just... our aristocratic family is too big, even if we want to do like Lord Zhengyang and His Majesty, we can't rashly separate the family."

Speaking of this, the Li family smiled wryly, looking very troubled: "I want to be like what Your Majesty and Duke Zhengyang said, and I also want to make sure that the children in the family don't even have a meal."

"I have an opportunity today."

"It's also a minister, no, this servant is asking His Highness for an opportunity on behalf of my Longxi Li family."

"If His Highness can ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor in the future, he can attack my family more lightly and slowly."

His words were full of sincere emotion, and there was no sign of lying at all.

Li Tai believed it a little bit, this is indeed a reasonable reason.

"Is it only your Longxi Li family?" After a long silence, Li Tai asked.

The Li family was overjoyed: "In addition to my Li family in Longxi, there are also three families, the Cui family in Qinghe, the Lu family in Fanyang, and the Wang family in Taiyuan."

"What about the other three?" Li Tai frowned.

"They are not with us." The Li family replied honestly.

Li Tai thought about it, but didn't agree immediately, but waved someone to see the guests off.This kind of thing can't be accepted so easily.

However, these people came to him, which gave him a lot of confidence.

At the same time, the prince's residence.

Bo led Cui's family to visit.

Unlike Li Tai, Li Chengqian received them almost immediately - he never refused those things that might be beneficial to him.

Like now, the entire Tang Dynasty has been praised by foreigners as a fairyland in the sky.

The family still enshrines Turkic people, except for those whose surnames were changed to Tang, only a portion of Li Chengqian's scorpion baba.

"Why is Cui Shaoqing visiting?" Li Chengqian squinted his eyes and greeted with a smile.

The Cui family bowed and replied respectfully: "I have come to inform Your Highness of some bad news."

Li Chengqian was taken aback for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat.

This... visit is to bring bad news?

"What bad news." Li Chengqian's face turned cold.

The Cui family took a deep breath and asked worriedly: "Didn't our family join forces to deal with Duke Zhengyang before?"

Li Chengqian nodded, he had also heard about it.

The Cui family continued: "Now I am no match for Lord Zhengyang. I feel that it is time to stop. Lord Zhengyang is such a respected person after all."

"But except for my Boling Cui family, Zhaojun Li family, and Xingyang Zheng family, the other four families have never given up on this idea. Now... now they are looking for His Royal Highness King Wei to plan to deal with Duke Zhengyang."

Li Chengqian stood up abruptly, with a gloomy face, took a few steps with a limp, then suddenly turned around and looked at the Cui family in surprise: "That's not right..."

"Qing Que was taught by Lord Zhengyang, how could he deal with Lord Zhengyang?"

The Cui family sighed: "When I was waiting for the discussion, they said that they wanted to elect His Royal Highness the King of Wei as the crown prince, so that must have moved His Highness the King of Wei."

"He really wants to fight for the position of the prince?" Li Chengqian stared round, eyes full of astonishment.

Cui's family didn't respond: "I don't know what the truth is, and I just don't want to talk to them, so I stopped contacting them."

"But Your Highness should pay attention."
